Hi,

A great addition to Flowchart would be the native support of better selection handles. By default they are all squares (I guess like in Visio), when more and more drawing programs are using different handle style for the vertex handle (round) and the mid point handle (smaller square). Also the rendering of the handles uses gradient. I know that we can use custom drawing, but native support would be nice.

Hi,

The version below adds RoundAndSquare and RoundAndSquare2 members to the HandlesStyle enumeration. The former renders only handles, the latter also draws a frame around the node using HandlesVisualStyle.DashPen:

HandlesVisualStyle now also contains a RotationHandleBrush property that lets you set a distinct brush for the rotation handle. Now you should be able to get handles' appearance similar to your image using these settings:

diagram.ShapeHandlesStyle = HandlesStyle.RoundAndSquare2;

diagram.ActiveItemHandlesStyle.HandleBrush =
	new LinearGradientBrush(Color.White, Color.LightBlue, 90);

diagram.ActiveItemHandlesStyle.RotationHandleBrush =
	new LinearGradientBrush(Color.White, Color.LightGreen, 90);

diagram.ActiveItemHandlesStyle.DashPen = new Pen(Color.Black, 0); 

I hope that helps,
Stoyan
